Method for planning an avp operation

Abstract

A method for planning an AVP operation for a motor vehicle within a parking lot using an infrastructure AVP system. The parking lot includes a plurality of regions, within each of which an AVP operation according to a different AVP type can be performed. The method includes the following steps: ascertaining for which infrastructure AVP types the AVP system is configured to perform an AVP operation; ascertaining within which region of the plurality of regions which of the infrastructure AVP types ascertained can be used for performing an AVP operation; ascertaining for which vehicle AVP type(s) the motor vehicle is configured to perform an AVP operation; planning an AVP operation for the motor vehicle to be performed within the parking lot, based on the infrastructure AVP types ascertained corresponding in each case to the plurality of regions and based on the vehicle AVP type(s) ascertained.

         11 . A method for planning an Automated Valet Parking (AVP) operation for a motor vehicle within a parking lot using an infrastructure AVP system, wherein the AVP system is configured for at least two different AVP types for performing an AVP operation, wherein an AVP type is an element selected from the following group of AVP types: AVP type 1, AVP type 2, and AVP type 3, wherein AVP type 1 is a vehicle-centered AVP operation, wherein AVP type 2 is an infrastructure-centered AVP operation, and wherein AVP type 3 is a shared vehicle-infrastructure AVP operation, and wherein the parking lot includes a plurality of regions, within each of which an AVP operation according to a different AVP type can be performed, the method comprising the following steps:
 ascertaining for which infrastructure AVP types the AVP system is configured to perform an AVP operation;   ascertaining within which region of the plurality of regions which of the infrastructure AVP types ascertained can be used for performing an AVP operation;   ascertaining for which one or more vehicle AVP type the motor vehicle is configured to perform an AVP operation;   planning an AVP operation for the motor vehicle to be performed within the parking lot, based on the infrastructure AVP types ascertained corresponding in each case to the plurality of regions and based on the one or more vehicle AVP type ascertained.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the planning includes determining within which of the plurality of regions the AVP operation for the motor vehicle can be performed. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the planning includes defining at least one changeover point and/or at least one changeover region of the parking lot, at or within which changeover point or changeover region the AVP operation performed is to be changed over from one AVP type to another AVP type. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the planning includes determining that the AVP operation for the motor vehicle is to be performed only within the region of the plurality of regions having a correspondingly ascertained AVP type for which the motor vehicle is configured. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the planning includes defining which function of a correspondingly ascertained AVP type of a region of the plurality of regions is to be correspondingly performed in a vehicle-centered, or infrastructure-centered, or shared vehicle-infrastructure manner. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein one or more of the ascertaining steps include the infrastructure AVP type or vehicle AVP type being read from a database and/or being requested from the AVP system by the motor vehicle and/or being requested from the motor vehicle by the AVP system. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 11 , further comprising carrying out the planned AVP operation. 
     
     
         18 . A device configured to plan an Automated Valet Parking (AVP) operation for a motor vehicle within a parking lot using an infrastructure AVP system, wherein the AVP system is configured for at least two different AVP types for performing an AVP operation, wherein an AVP type is an element selected from the following group of AVP types: AVP type 1, AVP type 2, and AVP type 3, wherein AVP type 1 is a vehicle-centered AVP operation, wherein AVP type 2 is an infrastructure-centered AVP operation, and wherein AVP type 3 is a shared vehicle-infrastructure AVP operation, and wherein the parking lot includes a plurality of regions, within each of which an AVP operation according to a different AVP type can be performed, the device configured to:
 ascertain for which infrastructure AVP types the AVP system is configured to perform an AVP operation;   ascertain within which region of the plurality of regions which of the infrastructure AVP types ascertained can be used for performing an AVP operation;   ascertain for which one or more vehicle AVP type the motor vehicle is configured to perform an AVP operation;   plan an AVP operation for the motor vehicle to be performed within the parking lot, based on the infrastructure AVP types ascertained corresponding in each case to the plurality of regions and based on the one or more vehicle AVP type ascertained.   
     
     
         19 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program including instructions for planning an Automated Valet Parking (AVP) operation for a motor vehicle within a parking lot using an infrastructure AVP system, wherein the AVP system is configured for at least two different AVP types for performing an AVP operation, wherein an AVP type is an element selected from the following group of AVP types: AVP type 1, AVP type 2, and AVP type 3, wherein AVP type 1 is a vehicle-centered AVP operation, wherein AVP type 2 is an infrastructure-centered AVP operation, and wherein AVP type 3 is a shared vehicle-infrastructure AVP operation, and wherein the parking lot includes a plurality of regions, within each of which an AVP operation according to a different AVP type can be performed, the instructions, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:
 ascertaining for which infrastructure AVP types the AVP system is configured to perform an AVP operation;   ascertaining within which region of the plurality of regions which of the infrastructure AVP types ascertained can be used for performing an AVP operation;   ascertaining for which one or more vehicle AVP type the motor vehicle is configured to perform an AVP operation;   planning an AVP operation for the motor vehicle to be performed within the parking lot, based on the infrastructure AVP types ascertained corresponding in each case to the plurality of regions and based on the one or more vehicle AVP type ascertained.
